Tacky Tramp

For my fandom folks: repealing Section 230 would be a five-alarm fire for @archiveofourown.org. USians should call their reps and DEMAND they vote down any attempt to repeal Section 230.

For fans of #Malevolent podcast and/or prompt fests, the #Malevoween 2025 prompt lists are up! SFW #Promptober and #Kinktober editions. There's also a Malevoween AO3 collection! Feel free to add your stuff: archiveofourown.org/collections/...

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers. In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

I’m a PASSIONATE fanfic commenter, but sometimes it slows me down because I feel like I need to leave long notes. But, as an author, I know even a short comment matters. So I made a guide to make it easier. Hopefully this helps someone else too! #fanfiction #fanfic #leaveacomment #harrypotterfanfic

#Zaundads / #Vanco Kinktober 2025! Rules will be in the reply below!

Vaguely removed from the context in question, but I do think it matters explaining why this justification processors use of "risk of chargebacks" is complete and utter bullshit. In my 2 years on gumroad, I had ONE chargeback. Almost 1000 sales, and one single chargeback of 3 dollars.

Absolutely WILD shit happening in IWTV fandom. Someone gave SDCC a list of fans and claimed they were potential stalkers of Sam Reid, and at least one fan on the list was questioned by police and ejected from the Con based on NO evidence. Hearing rumors this was anti crap. youtu.be/PaQGynqndts?...

Caitvis be like "wHy DoN't We HaVe MoRe FiC?"

I... never would have expected GOG to do a big porn giveaway to protest censorship, but hey, it's high profile enough to bring the site to its knees so CLEARLY it's spreading awareness.

Valve breaking silence on this is huge, they really dont do this. Companies, at this scale, dont -do this-. Visa, mastercard, stripe and paypal are feeling the pressure. They are making mistakes under pressure. Keep it up

I agree that it's a distinct skillset, because I'm pretty good at erotica and SUCK at many other elements of writing. There's a reason I'm a PWP factory, y'all.

-5 bastard points from this police department for this shade-rich press release.

It's almost like these "horrifying fantasies" are deeply metaphorical and psychological and extremely explainable if you take your pearls out of your white-knuckled little baby hands for five seconds and think psychologically, not literally, you nervous little custard.

It's almost like our brains never stop the act of Play, of mimicking concepts of success and failure and what-if, almost like internally we take concepts that society and life bombard us with and turn them over in our minds until they become jumbled in funny little patterns! How about that!

The phrase "veins and sinews" will be rotating in my brain like a plate in a microwave for the foreseeable future.

It's lowkey crazy how it's every country except Bangladesh and the developed world

Wonderful, thorough coverage of the @itch.io situation.

Damn you mean itch didn’t actually just abandon these creators but has been working hard with its limited resources to figure out how to continue supporting them? How surprising

Something Jayce can’t do. Based on the hilarious vid from breeandclint on tiktok#jaycetalis #viktorarcane #skyyoung

Copying my tweet here too in case ppl are interested to know The Tumblr purge The Patreon purge The Gumroad and Pixiv purge, The Onlyfans failed purge The shitty rules on Fansly The purge on steam and Itchio It's all cause of the ppl on ExodusCry www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmHH...

No joke, blocking anyone who shares this kind of idea. With payment processors determining what art gets to be shared and the current administration's daily crimes against humanity, saying that the red flag was dumb women liking toxic romance is the same argument for censoring immoral art.

Head's up to the #ao3 and #fanfic #fanfiction writing community! The troll bots are rising again. Remember! Report! Delete! Ignore! And don't feel bad. It's not about you. This is on my collection of fanart. Don't delete out of sadness or anger! That's what they want.🫂🫂💯💯

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign But we can EASILY top 1,000! I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send! ↻💬♡ to boost We CAN make a difference 💕 #itch #censorship 1/🧵

Cuomo Ruins Everything Around Me

i'm going to keep making adult art and so should you. humans have been recreating sacred glimpses of sucking and fucking ever since we had enough hand dexterity to hold tools, and these rat kings of capitalism are at best a few centuries old. don't be scared, art and our humanity will outlive them

Meanwhile, in medieval Italy...

SORRY - dashare.zone ADMIN

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done. We got more than 1000 people.

Fuck each other weird style and do it for absolutely no other reason than that you feel like it. Make horny pervert art instead of being productive. Skip out on your responsibilities and do deranged shit to the nearest consenting gay person.

This isn't just affecting games hosted on itchio... Comics, books, zones, etc with these tags are also no longer searchable. This is going to impact indie scenes across the board if not challenged!

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

I am being completely serious when I say that Democrats in Congress should be planning daily press conferences between now and September asking why Republicans are refusing to do their jobs to protect the country’s most famous pedophile who was also best friends with the leader of their party

This is so rude. /pos

Border Patrol agents attacked a skater kid at an anti-ICE protests with dozens of munitions last month. Video of the confrontation went viral, but his take on the event went unshared. Until now. @jeremotographs.bsky.social for @capitalandmain.bsky.social capitalandmain.com/skater-kid-b...

Similarly, I think sometimes people see adding any kind of humanization of an evil character as somehow adding moral ambiguity. And it's like, no, I'm writing them as tangible human beings *because* I don't want people to think that evil is just some abstract thing that comes from outer space .

WE'RE BACK BABES

I looked more into this episode, and the majority of these participants are influencers. They are openly & brazenly racist, antisemitic etc. They are using this to gain a mainstream audience by being boosted by both Jubilee and Zeteo. This is how the left often helps mainstream the far right.
